Any issues to be aware of other than fuel use as a sort of daily car. I don't think this will be much different with a V8 than a v6.I car share most of the time so only use the my car every other week and the distance to work is only 7 miles each wayThe 190 is fine with this but I want a V8 and have the use of a couple of company cars for works related travel (due to the type of cars these are these do less mpg then my V6 )

Whilst my 190 is off road I am using the 8 for a daily 10 mile drive...I have been pleasantly surprised how far I can get for Ã‚Â£30! No major issues to worry about with it as a daily driver...many owners have it as their only car.

And no issues using them as a daily drive, only real thing to watch is distance covered is enough to recharge the battery after starting

Problem is that I'm comparing it with the V6 which really does heat up quickly.As a matter of interest and as a very rough pointer, how far do you have to go before the temp. needle is at 9 O'clock in the V8?

Nothing to worry about using them daily, might be on first name terms with the petrol station operator lol! But mines my only car and use it all the time, and is muc better then using the V6 as my only motor
